Hey All, just introducing myself here.
I've loved music/gear forever. Really started getting into it more in college and beyond.
Started out in college with a Bose Wave Radio.
Then the best I could afford at Best Buy - panasonic "digital ready" receiver and Klipsch SF-3's.
Had those for ten years or so.
Then started getting the upgrade-itis - Emotiva gear and Wharfedale speakers, Rega turntable.
Kept churning through gear, and it's been about 10 years now of buying and trying.
For the purposes of this forum, planar speakers I've owned (in chronological order):
- Magnepan 2.7QR
- Apogee Centaur
- Quad ESL-57
- Beveridge Model 5
Now I have some Janszen ZA2.1A on the way (hope I got that model # right).
They are not the current ones with the 8" woofers, but I think they are only 2-3 years old. They have 6.5 or 7" woofers. They are active but no built-in DAC. Side-firing tweeter.
I heard the newest ones at AXPONA 2022 and had to give them a try. Wanted the newest ones but couldn't spring the $14k.
Also going to try running the Bacch software with them, just like I heard at the show!
https://www.theoretica.us/I've had quite a lot of gear over the past decade andcan list it all if anyone is curious, but what still remains is:
-KEF 107 and Accuphase E-212 system
- Tannoy Arden and Leben CS300XS system
- KEF LS50 and PS Audio Sprout 2 system
- 4th system will now be Janszen 2.1A's and Bel Canto 3.5VB DAC and the Bacch software.
Nice to meet y'all.
